Platform in classic verse;:
I'm - glad m g. ntleman son.
The standardization business is Just
now being run into the ground, as it
we're. In fact, it always is run into the
ground when it is run at all in this
country. In the first place, it is a Pc
culiarity of nature that it does not in
sist upon great mems sons being great.
On the contrary, if nature has estab-
lished any rule in this matter, it is that
the sons of the ablest, n ost brilliant
and favored men shall be decidedly
mediocre. Perhaps this is to be inter
preted as natures protest against the
law of heredity, and the good old
DANES declaration in favor of the chief
of Democratic doctrines. Whatever
the cause, it is certain that only in rare
instances do the sons of great men in
any of the walks of life equal their
ia thers.
In the second place, it is not the right
thing in a republic to reward an IN
worthy son for what worthy parent
did. Ali men being equal ID the theory
of our government and before our laws,
the son of the rich and the distin-
guished are entitled to no preference
not enjoyed by the offspring of poor
parents. Merit, not birth, should be
recognized and rewarded. If we say
that Fred Grant should be placed in
office because he is the son of his father,
and poor, unknown John Smiths bril-
liant boy must be held back because his
father was a mere private in General
Grants army, then we proclaim that
the republican idea is a failure, and
name is worth more than brains
Fortunately this is matter
in which the people cannot be dictated
to and controlled by the politicians.
The people, while they retain
their republican sentiments, will
refuse to recognize any advantage in
birth or name, but will insist that Bill
Smith, born in log hut of insignificant
parents, must be accorded an equal show
for his brains with the son of an Adams,
a Lincoln or a Grant.

to US, and slaughtered their spring

should be gratifed to see this spiri' -,
the same spirit that has marked the
people of the capital in an unusual and
perhaps no less degree, prevail on the
occasion of the coming Conference. 1t
would be graceful and peculiarly
fitting and fraternal action for our
citizens to anticipate the occasion by
writing to their friends in the country
referring the hospitality of their
homes. All of US may not be able to
accommodate friends as we would de-
sire, but it will be remembered that the
offer of the most meagre accommoda-
ton will enable those to attend who
could not otherwise come.

Murray's Specific.
THE GREAT ENGLISH REMEDY

is offered as positive, speedy and cer-
tain cure, hundreds afflicted with every
known disease having been restored to
complete health by its use, when all
other remedies failed. Its recuperative
powers are truly wonderful, and in all
troubles arising from tmprudence,
whether by the excessive use of tobacco,
alcoholic stimulants or other causes,
which ultimately shatter and destroy
the entire nervous system, the contln-
ued use for a short time of Murray's
Specific, changes the 1anguid. debili-
tated condition to one of renewed life
and vigor.
Prominent physicians endorse our
Remedy very highly-prescribing it in
all cases of Nervous Debility and Weak
ness peculiar to Women-more especi-
ally Hysteria.
Murray's Specific, has been used in
Europe and America with marvellous
success for over thirty years.

CHANCE FOR A SCANDAL.

1t has come out that at the conclusion
of their investigation of the Central
Pacific Railway in San Francisco. re-
Gently, the Pacific railway investigating
commission borrowed from the railroad
company 81 900. The money was to pay
hotel bills and other necessary expenses
of the inquiry, together with fares east
ward. 1t was very natural thing for
the commissioners to do under the cir
cumstances. They were without money,
government having failed to respond to
their requisition for the necessary cash,
and what more natural or proper than
that they should ask the required as
sistance of the railway company?
Nevertheless, it may be assumed that
the incident will be commented on as
suggesting the probability that the
railway people have captured "
the commission. Enemies to the
company and to the commission
will take advantage of the affair to ex-
cite suspicion if they do not openly
charge fraud. 1t is the popular thing
to alIege wrong-doing against railway
managers, and any opportunity to
attack an official is never permitted to
pass unimproved. The manner in
which the incident has been spread be-
fore the public, the simple fact of the
publication itself, is intended to reflect
on the commissioners and the railway
people.
1t is not at all creditable to the race
that all men are looked upon with sus-
picion, and if they are officials, as sus-
ceptibIe to bribery and corruption. Per
haps there has been so much wrong
doing by public men that people
feel that they are justified in looking
with distrust on the actions of officials /;
but if so, it argues still worse for man
kind.
In this connection it may be men
toned that there is wrong conception
as to the motives and purposes of the
Pacifce Railway Commission. The
idea seems to prevail that the Commits
sion was instituted and the members
appointed for the purpose of making
war on the subsidized roads and their
builders and managers. The Com
missioners themselves are largely
responsible for this popular feeling, as
they have conducted their inyestiga-
tions in a manner to convey the i'm
preston that they were enemies to the
railways and bent on scapdalizing GER
tain of the roads chief people. As
We understand it, Mr.. PattIson
and associates are not expected to man
ifest enmity towards the Pacific roads.

CONFERENCE HOSPITALITY.

Conference has not been held IN Salt
Lake for some time. There will be 8
great rush of people who must be &C
eommodated. The hospitality of the
Mormon people is proverbial. The good
people of this Territory have always
heen ready to throw open their doors
for the entertainment not only of
their fellow church members, but
of Gentiles, who have travelled
in their midst. 1t is true
that the increased population ana con-
seuuent increase of travel have rem
Sered inns necessary, and have changed
TO a certain extent the old custom IN
der which the ma2 with &c empty
pocket could journey from One-end OF
the Territory 10 the other and receive
every accommodation - that wealth
could have purchased.
We believe that in this respect
eur eountry cousins have excelIed
US of the city. How often have
they reIinquished their best ROOM

duty to correct with the pen. We
doubt in if the goddess ranks of the Loyal
League could have been found more
maligdant advocates of harsh laws than
local ministers of the gospel OF love
charity. Mr.. Tiff, we believe, Is
an honorable exception, as, indeed,
are one or two others who have refused
to sign anti-Mormon petitions, and
have endeavored to regulate their lives
by that of the Great Exemplar while
urging legitimate opposition to Nor
mon principles. Such has been the
character of Christian" efforts at Nor
mon conversion; they are summed up
in the one word-hate. And, by the
way, the chief opposition is to doc
trine which is demonstratbly a Bible
doctrine. "Exterminate them" cried
Bogart in Missouri; Put them to the
sword, ;" exclaims Talmage; Don't stop
at polygamists, punish them all, is the
chorus from the Utah mission. How
like the sermon on the Mount!
And the same admirable and phllo-
sophical method has been adopted in
teaching Mormons the principles of the
American Constitution and respect for
law. Gov. Boggs sent thousands OF
troops up against the Mormons with
orders to "exterminate or drive them
from the State" Judge King said
there was no law for Mormons in
Missouri, which, God knows, was a
fact; Joseph and Hyrum Smith were
murdered by troops ordered out to
protect them in Illinois, and finally the
people were driven from an American
State which evinced little desire to vim
dictate its own laws. And what have
we seen in Utah? The right of trial by
jury trampled on by Congress and
crushed out OF existence, practically by
courts and officials; men disfran-
chised by test oath women
robbed by the franchise summary
Brigham Young caused to pay alimony
to a plural wife; doctrine of
arbitrary segregation by which the
offense of unlawful cohabitation be-
came the most heavily puI he
offense known to American jurisp
ence; government of carpet-bagge
at the sacrifice of the principle of tn
right of people to govern themselves;
a Governor with an absolute veto. In
word, excessively harsh laws ad-
ministered in an excessively harsh
manner.
And in consequence of religion and
craftsmanship of such a high order, it
is exp cted that Mormons will conceive
passionate love for orthodox Chris
tianity and profound respect for So
called constitutional principles and for
the majesty and justice of the law. We
suspect that such religion and law are
held up not for our praise, but like
Temperance Orator Murphy's human
wreck as an lawful example" teaching
what to avoid.

riety of the investigation which they
are conducting. Certainly, they have
not the right to assume that they must
be unfriendly to the railways subject to
the inquiry, and that they must, there
fore, conduct the investigation as if
they were enemies to the roads and
their manapers

Queer Things About Money.

A woman who bought an old-fashioned
bureau at secondhand store in Cincin-
natl discovered a secret drawer in it
which contained 81, 900 in gold and old
bank bills.
Money was so scarce In certain coun.
ties of Southwestern Texas during the
earlier part of the winter, that in some in
stances the skins of javelina hogs were
used as circulating medium, and 'poss-
sum skins were frequently offered in
liquidation of grocery bills
John Monroe a young man living with
his widowed sister in the northern part
of Georgia, was digging hole for a po-
tato bin in his cellar, when his spade
broke open an earthen pot containing
81, ,480 in gold. The coin had been buried
by his sisters husband during the war,
and subsequently forgotten.
A young farmer in Des Moines County,
Ia, who had saved up 5000 in bank bills,
wrapped piece of paper around them
and stuck the roll up the chimney in his
bedroom for safe-keeping. One cold af-
ternoon his mother put stove in the
room and built a rOusing fire in it, and
when the young man returned to supper
only the charred remnants of the notes
could be found

Curious Clocks.

When the Emperor, Charles ", Of
Spain, retired to the Monastery of st.
Yuste, he took with him Torriano, his
clock-maker, in order to while away the
time by constructing the movements of
clocks. So wonderful were some of the
pieces of work which they made, that the
monks would not believe any one except
the devil had hand in them until the
machinery was shown to them by the ex-
Emperor. 1t was ordered by Charles
that when he should die all these clocks
should cease running-and it is said to
be fact that his orders were obeyed.
Another King of Spain came to Geneva
to see a clock which had been made by
Droz, merchant of that city. Upon
the clock were seated shepherd,
negro, and q dog As the hour was
struck, the shepherd played upon his
flute, and the dog played gently at his
feet. But, when the King reached forth
to touch an apple that hung from tree,
under which the shepherd rested, the
dog flew at him and barked SO furiously
that live dog answered him, and the
whole party left in haste. Venturing to re-
turn, one of the courtiers asked the negro,
in Spanish, what time it was. There
was no reply; but when the question was
repeated in French, an answer was given.
This frightened the courtier, who rejoined
his companions, and all of them voted
that the clock was the work of the evil
one
Upon the belfry of the Kauthaus, in
Coblentz, there is the head of a giant
bearded and helmeted with brass. The
giants head is known as 'the man in the
custom-house;" ahd whenever a country
man meets citizen of Coblentz away
from that place, instead of saying: GLOW
are all our friends in Coblentz2" he asks:
"How is the man in the custom-house2"
At every stroke of the bell which sounds
the hours upon the clock, the mouth of
the giant opens and shuts with great
force, as if it were trying to say, in the
words of Longfellow; "Time was--Time
is-Time is past. "-PopuIar Science
